Through ethnographic fieldwork carried out in 2009-2010 among gay and transgender communities in two neighborhoods, one located in the north of Lima and the other in Callao, this article describes the socio-linguistic and embodied practices that emerged during the context of street volleyball, demonstrating how sport illuminates the intersections of identity, language, gender, and sexuality. The role of volleyball is profoundly communal and social—going beyond serves, passes, and scoring. Specifically, study participants challenged the rules of formal volleyball and interrupted the norms of public space through shared practices of insulting and the cultivation of a particular volleyball technique.

A través de un trabajo de campo etnográfico realizado durante los años 2009 y 2010 con comunidades gais y trans en dos barrios ubicados en Lima Norte y en el Callao, en este artículo se describen las prácticas sociolingüísticas y corporales que emergieron dentro del contexto del vóley callejero y se demuestra cómo el deporte ilumina las intersecciones de la identidad, el lenguaje, el género y la sexualidad. El rol del vóley es profundamente comunal y social —yendo más allá de los saques, las defensas y el puntaje—. Específicamente, es por medio de las prácticas del insulto y la cultivación de una técnica particular como los interlocutores del estudio desafiaron los reglamentos del vóleibol formal e interrumpieron las normas de la vía pública. A través de la transformación cotidianade la calle en una cancha de vóley, los participantes produjeron un espacio visible y un marco social para desarrollar y hacer legible una estética deportiva queer.Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú2020-12-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/debatesensociologia/article/view/2313410.18800/debatesensociologia.202002.007Debates en Sociología; Núm. 51 (2020); 129-1432304-42840254-9220reponame:Revistas - Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstname:Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstacron:PUCPspahttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/debatesensociologia/article/view/23134/22118http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:revistaspuc:article/231342023-07-24T17:40:06Z
